Joint Bayesian Treatment of Poisson and Gaussian Experiments in a Chi-squared Statistic
نویسنده
چکیده
Bayesian Poisson probability distributions for n̄ can be analytically converted into equivalent chi-squared distributions. These can then be combined with other Gaussian or Bayesian Poisson distributions to make a total chi-squared distribution. This allows the usual treatment of chi-squared contours but now with both Poisson and Gaussian statistics experiments. This is illustrated with the case of neutrino oscillations.

Bayesian Estimation of Shift Point in Shape Parameter of Inverse Gaussian Distribution Under Different Loss Functions
In this paper, a Bayesian approach is proposed for shift point detection in an inverse Gaussian distribution. In this study, the mean parameter of inverse Gaussian distribution is assumed to be constant and shift points in shape parameter is considered. First the posterior distribution of shape parameter is obtained. Then the Bayes estimators are derived under a class of priors and using variou...
متن کاملA Preliminary Test for Nonlinear Structure
We present a preliminary test for nonlinear structure in large data sets. This procedure consists of transforming the data to remove the correlations, then discretizing the data and nally, studying the cell counts in the resulting contingency table. Formal tests can be performed using the usual chi-squared test statistic. A simple Poisson approximation is useful for informal examination of the ...
متن کاملInformation Divergence is more chi squared distributed than the chi squared statistics
For testing goodness of fit it is very popular to use either the χ-statistic or G-statistics (information divergence). Asymptotically both are χ-distributed so an obvious question is which of the two statistics that has a distribution that is closest to the χ-distribution. Surprisingly, when there is only one degree of freedom it seems like the distribution of information divergence is much bet...
متن کاملA Bayesian Chi-Squared Test for Hypothesis Testing
A new Bayesian test statistic is proposed to test a point null hypothesis based on a quadratic loss. The proposed test statistic may be regarded as the Bayesian version of Lagrange multiplier test. Its asymptotic distribution is obtained based on a set of regular conditions and follows a chi-squared distribution when the null hypothesis is correct. The new statistic has several important advant...
متن کاملThe Limiting Distribution of a Test for Multivariate Structure
We define a chi-squared statistic for p-dimensional data as follows. First, we transform the data to remove the correlations between the p variables. Then we discretize each variable into groups of equal size and compute the cell counts in the resulting p-way contingency table. Our statistic is just the usual chi-squared statistic for testing independence in a contingency table. Because the cel...
